Etsomnia™ 150: A Few of My Favorite Things

Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.

My 150th Etsomnia™! I can hardly believe it. It seems like only yesterday that I started the weekly feature showcasing the worst (and the best) Etsy had to offer. In honor of this milestone, I thought I’d lay aside my bogey man status for the week and instead share with you some of the best things I’ve found on my favorite shopping website. I hope you enjoy them!

I love tonsu cabinets! Beloved and I designed one years ago to use as a room divider, but it proved too expensive to have made (and I lack the carpentry skills). They’re typically double sided, meaning the drawers open in either direction and cabinets have doors on both sides. Incredibly useful!

That Eastern Classic must have been inspired by some old Japanese house furniture/staircase. I am glad to see someone take it up as it is one of the things I had considered searching out in Japan had I stayed there long term.

What a great way to celebrate 150! Etsy redeemed. Fortunately, you and I are drawn to the same styles and colors, so I swooned. Unfortunately, it seems we also share expensive taste; I looked at some of the prices and swooned. ( :
